Environmental Geochemistry
Carey Gazis, Central Washington University
This environmental geochemistry course examines two perspectives on geochemistry: a scientific discipline with its own basic unanswered questions and a set of tools for answering questions in other geologic ...

GEOS 431 Soils
Cynthia Fadem, Earlham College
This course introduces students to the skin of the Earth, examining soil as both a geological material and a natural resource. We explore the awesome complexity of soils from molecular- to landscape-scale and ...

Hydrology and Water Resources
Kaye Savage, Wofford College
This course is divided into three parts -- surface water, ground water, and regional studies. We meet jointly for the regional studies part with an economics class (Water: Law, Economics and Policy) and ...

Geohydrology
Peter Riemersma, Grand Valley State University
GEOhydrology is the study of groundwater and its physical and chemical interactions with the physical environment. The course will be focused on those geologic principles that govern the occurrence, movement and ...

Soil properties, morphology and formation
Lixin Jin, The University of Texas at El Paso
This course centers on the overlap of soil science and geology. Our goal is to explain the fundamental principles in soil sciences, introduce the concept of critical zone, where water, rock, biology, and atmosphere ...

Landscape Pedology
Stephanie Ewing, Montana State University
We explore approaches to evaluating soil development using concepts of soil age and residence time, and variation of soil properties with climate, geomorphic and hydrologic context, plant communities, and parent ...

Geology and Ecology of Soils
Nick Bader, Whitman College
Soils provide nutrients, water and support for growing plants, host an amazing variety of organisms, and even influence global climate. This class will focus on the dynamic systems in soil and on the interactions ...

Groundwater Hydrogeology
Joseph Asante, Tennessee Technological University

ES326 Soil Genesis, Classification and Morphology
Katherine McCarville, Upper Iowa University
The course is a field-oriented exploration of soils, including classification based on the USDA Soil Taxonomy system.

Geohydrology
Kenneth Carroll, New Mexico State University-Main Campus
Origin, occurrence, and movement of fluids in porous media and assessment of aquifer characteristics. This course aims to develop a thorough understanding of groundwater hydrogeology through the lecture and ...
